You know, if we had that business, we'd be able to make it successful by utilizing the knowledge that we had learned from 1-800-GOT-JUNK, basically taking that and applying it to the Oxifresh model.

So it's just it's kind of this funny story of us working together.

And then, you know, for Oxifresh, we had a carpet cleaning job.

So one of us gets dropped off, hops in our own vehicle, puts a machine and gets equipment.
